Best Costco Food Court Orders on Ozempic & Wegovy

Quick answer

Doable with portion control. Protein-forward picks like a chicken bake or the all-beef hot dog (skip the soda, split if you can) work in a pinch. The pizza slices and churros are very large and best split or skipped. Get water instead of the refillable soda.

The Costco food court is famous for value and huge portions — which is exactly the thing to manage on GLP-1 medications. A little planning (splitting items, choosing protein, skipping the soda and churro) makes it work as an occasional meal.

What to go easy on

Whole Costco pizza slice — One slice is enormous — often 700+ calories.
Churro — Large fried, sugary dessert; a strong nausea trigger.
Refillable soda — Easy to drink a lot of sugar; choose water.

Drinks

Get water instead of the refillable soda. If you want the fountain drink, choose the diet option and be mindful of carbonation and bloating.

Ordering tips

Split large items (pizza, chicken bake) with someone, or save half for later.
Choose protein-forward items and leave part of the bun or crust.
Skip the churro or share it as a small treat.
Drink water; the food court portions already provide plenty of calories.

Frequently asked questions

Can I eat at the Costco food court on GLP-1?

Is the chicken bake ok?

It is very high in protein (40+ g) but also large and calorie-dense. Consider splitting it or saving half.

What about the pizza?
